It looks like the train has been delayed. Again. The upcoming Brad Pitt assassin film Bullet Train has been delayed a second time to August 5, 2022. The film saw its release date move from July 15 to July 29 in March.

While the delay is just a week out from the last release date, it’s still a bummer for fans who were hoping to go all aboard the assassin-centric action flick.

The film is based on the novel Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka and follows a seasoned assassin named Ladybug, played by Pitt, who wants to stop killing but gets pulled back in by his handler, Sandra Bullock’s Maria Bettle.

Besides Pitt, the film features a star-studded cast including Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Andrew Koji, and Bullock who replaced Lady Gaga after she dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. At the helm of the film is director David Leitch whose credits include both Deadpool 2 and John Wick, the latter of which he co-directed.

In a recent interview with Empire, Leitch said that much of the film’s action was inspired by Jackie Chan films and fights will include “a little bit of physical comedy.” He also said, “The fights are designed to enhance the characters. We’re here to have fun in this super-contained space.”

If the trailer that came out in March is any indicator, Bullet Train is going to be a lot of frantic fun with a dash of humor.

Dune, Part Two has just cast another major new role, and it's a doozy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher Walken is joining the cast as the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV.

Walken's character is referenced in the original movie, but Dune, Part Two marks the first time fans will see the Emperor in the flesh. The role was previously played by José Ferrer in 1984's Dune and Giancarlo Giannini in the 2000 Syfy miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune.

In the Dune universe, Shaddam IV is the head of the all-powerful House Corrino. Shaddam is a monarch who rules over the known galaxy and shares an uneasy balance of power with the other houses of the Landsraad, the Spacing Guild and the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. As revealed in the first movie, Shaddam conspired with House Harkonnen to destroy House Atreides, which he views as a threat to his rule.

Also joining the cast for Dune, Part Two are Black Widow's Florence Pugh as Shaddam's daughter, the Princess Irulan and Elvis star Austin Butler as the deadly Feyd-Rautha.

Weirdly enough, Walken's casting was foreshadowed more than 20 years ago in director Spike Jonze's music video for the Fatboy Slim song "Weapon of Choice." Walken stars in the video as a traveling businessman dancing through the halls of a hotel, and the song includes the Dune-inspired lyrics "Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm."

Dune, Part Two was officially announced in October 2021, with the sequel hitting theaters in October 2023. Director Denis Villeneuve will return alongside most of the Part One cast. Villeneuve recently confirmed the screenplay is "mostly finished" and final preparations are underway before filming begins.

The brand-new Dead Space remake officially has a release date, with EA announcing during a stream that the updated version of the beloved survival horror game will be out January 27, 2023.

In addition to the release date, EA also released a trove of new concept art for fans to pick through. While EA says it isn't indicative of in-game footage, it does offer an idea of the scope that the development team is going for with its newly-updated version of Dead Space.

First announced in July 2021, Dead Space is a remake of the 2008 sci-fi horror game starring Isaac Clarke, an engineer who must battle a series of horrors known as Necromorphs. The original developer, Visceral Games, was shuttered in 2017, with co-creator Glen Schofield now working on a similar game set in the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe titled The Callisto Protocol.

Meanwhile, EA Motive is handling development of the remake.

According to EA, the Dead Space remake will seek to retain the look and feel of the original while utilizing "next-gen tech." EA Motive has since shown off an early version of the game's build while continuing to interface with fans, including adjusting weapon sounds based on fan feedback.

A "full reveal" of Dead Space will be arriving around Halloween, upon which EA Motive will properly take the wraps off its long-awaited sequel. When it releases next year, it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In the meantime, check out our list of the most anticipated games for the rest of 2022.

Control and Assetto Corsa publisher 505 Games has announced that its first ever digital showcase will take place next week, on Tuesday, May 17.

The Spring 2022 showcase will start at 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK / 11pm AEST on the publisher's YouTube channel and promises updates on previously announced titles in addition to "a surprise or two along the way".

505 Games didn't give any inclination as to how long the showcase would be, or what it would be reveal.

We're hoping that it could include an update on the Control multiplayer spin-off that's already in the works. The publisher also has a sequel to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night in development that was announced briefly in May last year and is therefore still due an official reveal.

We also know that 505 Games is publishing a dark fantasy RPG from Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam, but this was only announced in December so may not be in any state to show yet.

Two of 505's bigger projects that have just launched recently. The PC version of Death Stranding: Director's Cut was released in March and Eiyuden Chronicle Rising launched earlier this week on May 10.

Netflix has dropped two trailers for its upcoming Resident Evil TV show, which looks to throw us into the future of the horror series’ universe as we’re transported to New Raccoon City.

The swift one-minute trailer introduces us to Resi regular Albert Wesker (played here by Lance Reddick), who now has two daughters: Billie (Seina Agudong) and Jade (Tamara Smart). Things start very utopian with the introduction of New Raccoon City in the present day, where citizens do yoga in the streets and drink from bottles stamped with the Umbrella logo. But things soon deteriorate when the time skips from 2022 to London in 2036. Here we see Billie and Jade trying to survive what looks like an even grimier version of 28 Days Later.

There’s surprisingly few overt Resident Evil game references in this quick trailer. There are glimpses of what could be familiar monsters; a split second of what looks like a licker, a monster in a tank that could possibly be a tyrant, and - of course - a zombie dog. But the hints to this being a proper Resident Evil project are subtle, such as a red umbrella in a sea of black ones.

However, that teaser is just the first of two. An additional, more monster-packed teaser can be found on the show’s in-universe Umbrella promotion website. This second teaser trailer introduces us to Wesker’s medical project, Joy; a pill that can be used as an antidepressant and focus booster. But, surprise surprise, the drug also contains the T-virus. That’s the virus that’s responsible for many of the Resident Evil games’ monsters, and in subsequent shots we see not just plenty of zombies, but also a giant spider, a licker, and a huge grub. Umbrella doing business as usual, then.

Resident Evil lands on Netflix on July 14. Until then, you can read our extensive preview about Resident Evil Season 1, which breaks down the trailer and features new details straight from showrunner Andrew Dabb. For more, check out the cast and posters.

Elden Ring developer FromSoftware could be used to assist in the development of games based on manga and anime.

FromSoftware's parent company is the Kadokawa Corporation, a huge Japanese firm with several entertainment brands under its umbrella, including magazines that publish Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, and other manga.

Kadokawa's latest financial earnings, as spotted by ResetEra user Nightengale, revealed the corporation is planning to adapt some of its manga and anime into video games, with FromSoftware listed as one of the "game adaptation resources" it may use, alongside Spike Chunsoft (Jump Force) and Gotcha Gotcha Games (RPG Maker).

It's unlikely the developer would be given an adaptation as its main project, however, given the success of Elden Ring and its other original IPs including Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

It's also unclear which manga or anime franchises the Kadokawa Corporation is considering, but it said it's looking to "create the next big hit from original works that are suited to a video game adaptation".

There are certainly plenty options to choose from as the Kadokawa Corporation is truly massive, with several layers and branches of other companies underneath it.

The Neon Genesis Evangelion manga series, for example, was part of the Monthly Shonen Ace magazine, owned by Kadokawa Shoten, which in turn is owned by Kadokawa Future Publishing, whose parent company is finally the Kadokawa Corporation.

Its anime divisions are just as far reaching, as Kadokawa has ties to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Sword Art Online, Angel Beats, and many more.

Moon Knight producers Grant Curtis and Nick Pepin have already lined up their next Marvel gig, having both signed on for the upcoming Fantastic Four MCU movie.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater revealed that Curtis and Pepin, two of the executive producers on the Oscar Isaac-led series, have been enlisted to work on another MCU project. He confirmed that they are now both on board for the Fantastic Four movie, which is currently in the early stages of development.

"My execs on Moon Knight are the same guys who are running Fantastic Four, so we had a lot of talks about it. I was like, 'I'm not going to pitch you for anything, because honestly you don't need my stink on it,'" Slater admitted in conversation with the outlet, adding that, "Grant and Nick are amazing executives. They're going to find brilliant writers and brilliant directors."

Slater penned the first draft of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four, a commercial and critical failure, though only one line of dialogue from his initial script actually ended up in the final theatrical release. Still, he is giving the next Fantastic Four reboot a wide berth as he recognizes that it's not something that he necessarily needs to have his name attached to again.

"I can't wait to see it as a fan, but I just know that no one will ever accept a Jeremy Slater Fantastic Four movie for very good reason," he continued. "If your Uber driver shows up and you're like, 'Oh, I saw that guy drunk driving last week,' you don't get in the car with him. I think there's some things that I just probably need to steer clear from for the rest of my career."

The latest Fantastic Four has been relatively quiet on the news front. It was reported early last year that the studio was still looking for writers and that production was "a while" off yet. Then, last month, we found out Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts had stepped away from the project, citing the need for "a break from the superhero realm."
